These two today.
 
Erik, that's a bummer my friend...I've enjoy watching blade, bolsters and liners patina and become part of you as it ages. Hopefully a stable crack and stays that way forever without further damage:thumbup:

Thanks, we shall see. I'm over the initial shock of it all. Worst case scenario I'll have an excuse to get my first custom/ rehandling job done.

Is that a rosewood JSCHENK?

Beautiful pair.

Going to carry this one, on loan from Eric, thanks for letting me handle and carry this beautiful piece by Ohta for a bit.
Couldn't wait to take some photos in that morning light.

A beautiful clip point with a 100% symmetrical swedge. The first piece of work by Ohta that I've handled.

Jack Nice Böker Copperhead there, I've a couple of those, quite heavy but very well turned out. Is that Washboard Bone?
 
Going international today with the Swiss Vic and the Canadian Grohmann. Our weather has gone Canadian today in Ohio with gusting winds, freezing temps and additional snow.

Tim, that Ohta is stunning!

I rarely include the 110 in my photos even though it has been on my belt almost 24/7 for the past couple of months.

Really like that new city knife Tom. What flavour are those wood handles ?

Thanks Dan! It is zebra wood (or zebrawood?), my first experience with it. I really like it, the small open pores give it almost a textured feel. Today with my beer scout:

Jack - a fine pairing today - the 25 pic is very nicely done.

Tim - great knife !

JSChenk - a fantastic Anniversary Rosewood !

I spent half the day in the ER with a kidney stone yesterday. A lot of pain. Hoping to scare it today by carrying my doctor's knives and just maybe it will pass. :o

I hope that kidney stone passes like a well oiled joint...smooth and easy.

That's a fine pair you're packin'.:thumbup: I always enjoy your photos.

Thank you Rob, sorry to hear of your health issues. I'm sure those doctor's knives will pulverize those stones with those flat bottoms. They're a real bear to pass. Rest well~
 
I don't expect this knife to resonate much in here, but I'm kinda proud of it. It's one of the few items belonging to my grandpa that I received after his passing; I just recently rediscovered it after almost 15 years. I polished the shield and bolsters, cleaned the MOP and gave the blades a little spit shine and sharpening as well. I maintained a portion of the patina but healed it of it's scratches. It's been in my watch pocket since.
